What We Believe
“THE HELPER”
H: HOLY SPIRIT; HIS PRESENCE, HIS POWER AND HIS PROPHETIC ACTIVITY
“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may be with you forever;” John 14:16
”But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Before he came, he knew he would be leaving.” John 14:26
T: TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” John 14:6
”So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
E: EVANGELISM - PERSONAL AND POWER EVANGELISM
”They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.” Acts 16:31
”But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15
H: HEALING - PHYSICAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved'; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues.” Mark 16:15-17
E: EQUIPPING THE SAINTS
”And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;” Ephesians 4:11-13
L: LOVE - LOVING GOD AND LOVE OTHERS BEGINNING WITH OUR FAMILY
Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your should, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is life it: ‘‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'“
P: PRAYER - MY HOUSE WILL BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL NATIONS
Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a den of thieves.’” Mark 11:17
E: EVERY MEMBER INVOLVEMENT (EMI)
”For just as we have many members I one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grave given to use, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of hi faith; if service, in serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.” Romans 12:4-8
R: REVIVAL AND REFORMATION
”And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20
